...should not be responsible for carting drunks to jail-one-third of all arrests." I am wondering what you propose to do with the drunks? Leave them lie to be rolled by other nighttime characters? Leave them lie to become sick? Leave them lie as an unsightly and disgusting sight for sober citizens? I realize that my thinking (based on over twenty years as a Village Justice) is not on all fours with the current thinking on how to cure alcoholism.

When a moviehippie says he just wants to wander around loving everything in sight, we can almost always detect the tone of a lurking scriptwriter at some pains to imply that the sonofabitch ought to get off the streets and earn a decent living. Moviehippies are often surprisingly well-fed (as are, coincidentally, most actors), generally overdressed, spend inordinate amounts of time talking about...
